New script twist in the endless soap opera about the future of Carlos Sainz in Formula 1. A soap opera that, perhaps, has really reached its final stage.
According to reports ‘La Gazzetta’, the Madrid pilot will be very close to signed for the Alpine team for the next two seasons.
After seeing each other Ferrari surprised at the start of the year by announcing the signing of Lewis Hamilton In his place, when everything seemed to indicate that he would renew, Carlos Sainz had to find a seat to continue in F1.
He wasn’t in a hurry, but since then, Carlos’ decision has been very complicated. I want to continue inside a car that will allow you to aspire to achievements and successbut continue to wait for a very likely move like Verstappen Mercedes or something similar, which will open a hole red bull or the Brackley team, it’s too dangerous. If he does, he risks being left without a seat.
From the beginning, Audi (Still Sauber in 2025) He pushed Sainz hard because they wanted him to be the leader of their project. But this is a very long-term thing. Sainz also has an option Williams and, since the last few weeks, it has been full Alpine with the arrival of Flavio Briatore as an advisor to straighten the course of the French team.
Carlos wants a team that will allow him just keep fighting in the middle zone to at least shine and keep its good poster in case in a few years the doors open to other big teams or to Ferrari itself.
A few months ago, Carlos didn’t see Alpine as the best option because the team’s hike seemed to be going nowhere. But Flavio Briatore came to clean and organize things with clear and concise ideas.
Briatore’s ambition and Alpine intends to likely assemble Mercedes engines by 2026 They would have convinced Carlos after carefully studying all the options.
The Mercedes engine is predicted to be one of the dominant ones in the new regulations from 2026 and that’s something Carlos really appreciates.
